Reference SQL (matched-content control)

The following block is the public reference SQL used to construct the ground truth for this task. It is provided verbatim, without procedural prose, to test whether matched task-relevant content alone explains the WITH-SKILL gain.

-- Title: Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) — first day minimum (eICU)
-- Matches eicu-code pivoted-gcs.sql logic, then aggregates to
-- minimum GCS in the first 24 hours per ICU stay.
